The indictments were announced on Feb. 17.
Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza said the facts discovered through his office’s investigation of the incidents are “disturbing,” and they believe many protesters injured by law enforcement during the protests were “innocent bystanders.”
Garza said the protesters suffered “significant and serious injuries to the head, face and body,” and some may never recover.
Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon responded immediately after the indictments were announced saying he was "extremely disappointed" in the announcement of the indictments.
